[edit] OH, IN, MI, KY, TN, AL

The states of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Tennesee, and Alabama aren't far from the Atlantic Ocean at all! I mean they are closer to New York City than they are to Lebanon,Kansas (the most central city in the United States). I don't even think these should be striped! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.106.143.214 (talk) 00:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC).

Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan are traditionally considered Midwestern states, which technically makes them part of the Central US; while parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama (as well as parts of Indiana and Michigan) are in the Central Time Zone, also tying them to the center.

The Central states should be the ones that are all in the Central time zone and on the eastbank  of the Mississippi river, and the ones that are in the Central time zone and on the westbank of the Mississippi river. Its not all pretty yet it works while dividing the continuous U.S. into six regions of states, with Missouri, Colorado, Utah, Neveda, and California split between northern and southern regions overall; Northest, Northcentral, Northwest, Southeast, Southcentral, and Southwest. The Northcentral would be Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri north of the Missouri river. The Southcentral would be Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri south of the Missouri river. The Northeast would be from New Jersey and Maine to Indiana and Michigan. The Southeast would be from Florida and Delaware to Alabama and Kentucky. The Northwest would be from Nebraska and North Dakota to California north of 40 degrees and Washington. The Southwest would be from Texas and Kansas to California south of 40 degrees.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.95.218.64 (talk) 06:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
